Preface

Mods provided here are not made by or affiliated with Alpha Blend Interactive.

Modifying ChilloutVR is allowed by its TOS as long as modding is non-malicious. As such, I expect these mods to be completely safe to use!

However, if you encounter an issue with the game (especially after an update), make sure that issue is not caused by mods before reporting it to ChilloutVR Team.
You can add --no-mods launch option (in Steam) to temporarily disable MelonLoader without uninstalling it completely.

Some of these mods are ports of my (now-dead) VRChat mods. You can take a peek there if you're curious about history.

MirrorResolutionUnlimiter

This mod adds a few extra options to fine-tune mirror look and performance. Doesn't actually change resolution limit yet.

Note that increasing mirror texture resolution will increase VRAM usage and lower performance, as your GPU will have to do more work.

If UI Expansion Kit is installed, mod settings page in the main menu will get two buttons to optimize and beautify all visible mirrors in the world.

Settings:

• Force auto resolution - removes mirror resolution limits set by world maker. Off by default.
• Mirror MSAA - changes MSAA specifically for mirrors. Valid values are 0 (same as main camera), 1, 2, 4 and 8. Lower MSAA may lead to "shimmering" and jaggies, especially in VR.
• Pixel lights in mirrors - allows to force enable or disable pixel lights in mirrors, changing how objects are affected by real-time lights

UI Expansion Kit

This mod provides additional UI panels for use by other mods, and a unified mod settings UI.
Refer to API for mod integration.
